Main entrance is in the back parking lot. Front entrance is locked. Sells the usual stuff like banh mi, pho, che, spring rolls, and boba drinks. They have a passionfruit drink that is pretty tasty and caffeine-free. Also sells coconut pandan waffles but these were not good. They use dried coconut flakes in the batter so the waffle is a bit gritty. Prices are decent. Great for quick bites and refreshing drinks. Service at the counter is pretty quick.
This is a place you come to for cheap food. They have buy 2 baguettes and get 1 free. I like the ham, meatloaf and head cheese the best. They also have drinks for BOGO free.
We came on a Saturday around 4:30pm and they were not busy. You sit down and a worker comes and drops off the menu for you to order. Currently, there's a new item on the menu for hot pot which is advertised at 50% off and cost $8.50. The options for the hot pots are the beef pot, intestine pot or seafood pot with a selection of broths (one being beef broth but I cannot remember the rest) and egg noodles or rice. I wanted to try it since it's new so I selected the beef pot with beef broth as suggested on the menu. I also selected the egg noodles. It wasn't the best hot pot and not anything compared to boiling point or any other hot pot joint. I would not order it again. My husband got the chicken pho for $4.99 bucks and it was good and cheap. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.
TIP: there's parking in back of the restaurant and you enter from the side street
Very good price on Chicken noodle soup of $4.99 served in giant bowl.
Very spacious and cleaner the next closest ones. Comfort food and friendly staff.
Food was decent. I wouldn't say that it was spectacular. I went to get a quick bite for lunch and got the pre made rice and noodles. Don't be tricked! The rice are not 3.50 like the noodles. There are no signs to remotely even tell you that there's a different price for the rice dishes. It feels that Che Cali seems to be going down hill. It used to be good for the value. Now I would rather go to other places.
